AThere's always someone on the tDrain with me
That wants to F#mtalk about everything when DI just want to fall asleep
AThe train is late for the tDhird time this week
And F#meveryday it's raining around D9:15
[Verse 1]
I've Bmworn these rails thin and C#mran for the train agDain
DIt's always late to the station
BmRush hour came and went
C#mThree to a seat and wDe're filled up with awkward conversation
[Interlude]
 A   D   F#m   D(x2)

GCool but I don't kDnow what it is
[Chorus]
AThere's always someone on the tDrain with me
That wants to F#mtalk about everything when DI just want to fall asleep
AThe train is late for the tDhird time this week
